I'm sorry, the Mini Moot was rather abruptly terminated. And there won't be any official minutes as I threw the laptop at Burton. So a few notes instead.
I mean, what is it with these nerdie types? They go around being all boring and apparently unimaginative. And then the proposal "That this Community requests the use of Modern Worship in leading Worship" came up.
Burton's argument is that the Beaker Folk are getting out of touch with modernity. Sure, we no longer wear the animal skins of our forebears, reasons Burton. But the leadership are still clad in chunky cableknit sweaters, safety boots and hi-viz vests. That's so out of date, says Burton - anyone would think we lived in a country where people still had outdated things like jobs in the fishing, building or distribution industry. What we want, taking a leaf out of Badminton's book, is something more modern - more glamorous.
Burton suggested a frogman's outfit, a cowboy suit, and - for the all-age worship - a giant squirrel and a rabbit costume. I mean. I know I got annoyed. Apart from the thought of standing at the front of the Moot House, as a quarter of a group looking like a cross between Wind in the Willows and the Village People. How many times do I have to tell him? It's frog-person and herdsmanager.
